A mass evacuation to various Australian states of the 66 patients taken to Darwin after the Bali bomb began last night.
Four C-130 Hercules aircraft have been commandeered to take most of the injured to Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide to ease the burden on the Royal Darwin Hospital.
A further two Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) planes arrived into Darwin from Bali last night.
A New Zealand Air Force aircraft and medical evacuation team are also helping to evacuate casualties from Bali to Darwin.
One injured person aboard an RAAF Hercules flight died en route to Darwin yesterday, while another person died in Royal Darwin Hospital after being flown in from Bali.
The evacuation of tourists who are either "walking wounded" or uninjured by the explosion is also continuing.
With 14 Australians confirmed dead, 113 injured and 220 unaccounted for, Australia's Foreign Minister, Mr Alexander Downer, and Justice Minister, Mr Chris Ellison, flew to Bali last night.
Senior officials of the Australian Federal Police and the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation accompanied them to review progress in the investigation.
Before flying out, Mr Downer criticised the police in Bali for failing to secure the scene properly for forensic examination.
"It was secured and then not secured, then secured and not secured. I think \ is the story there and I'm told by the police that has been a problem," Mr Downer said.
High-level talks with Indonesian authorities are taking place today.
Qantas has scheduled extra flights to bring Australian holidaymakers home.
The airline said passengers would not be charged any penalties if they chose to amend, defer or cancel their travel plans after the attacks.
Terrorism was excluded from most travel insurance policies worldwide after the terrorist attacks on America in September last year.
Some people have complained though that Qantas was charging US$400 to bring those without a return ticket back. This has since been reduced to US$250.
The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has urged Australians to defer all travel to Indonesia. Travel agents are offering refunds or alternative packages for those who had booked to go there over the next two weeks.
In New South Wales (NSW), police are on a heightened state of alert after the weekend bombings.
The State Premier, Mr Bob Carr, is seeking the use of military personnel to secure sites regarded as potential terrorist targets. These are thought to include Sydney Opera House, the Harbour Bridge and power plants.
Mr Carr says he will seek a meeting with the Australian Prime Minister, Mr John Howard, to review security issues.
Anti-terrorism laws that were ramped after September 11th will also be reviewed. "New South Wales will be talking . . . about the practical use of Australian Defence Forces to secure what might be considered targets on Australian soil," Mr Carr said.
The NSW Police Commissioner Mr Ken Moroney said yesterday that security was stepped up following a worldwide alert issued late last Friday regarding the possible threat to local infrastructure, such as power and water sources.
Since the events in Bali, patrols have again been increased.
There will be a national day of mourning next Sunday for those Australians killed in Bali.
